Definitions

  • the present invention relates to lancing devices for obtaining samples of blood and other fluids from the body for analysis or processing.
  • Lancets in conventional use generally have a rigid body and a sterile needle which protrudes from one end.
  • the lancet may be used to pierce the skin, thereby enabling the collection of a blood sample from the opening created.
  • the blood is transferred to a test device or collection device. Blood is most commonly taken from the fingertips, where the supply is generally excellent.
  • the nerve density in this region causes significant pain in many patients. Sampling of alternate site, such as earlobes and limbs, is sometimes practiced to access sites which are less sensitive. These sites are also less likely to provide excellent blood samples and make blood transfer directly to test devices difficult.
  • US-A-4,503,856 describes a spring loaded lancet injector.
  • the reusable device interfaces with a disposable lancet.
  • the lancet holder may be latched in a retracted position.
  • a spring causes the lancet to pierce the skin at high speed and then retract. The speed is important to reduce the pain associated with the puncture.
  • US-A-4,517,978 describes a blood sampling instrument.
  • This device which is also spring loaded, uses a standard disposable lancet. The design enables easy and accurate positioning against a fingertip so the impact site can be readily determined. After the lancet pierces the skin, a bounce back spring retracts the lancet to a safe position within the device.
  • Some blood glucose monitoring systems require that the blood sample be applied to a test device which is in contact with a test instrument. In such situations, bringing the finger of a patient directly to the test device poses some risk of contamination from blood of a previous patient.
  • it is common to lance a patient collect a sample in a micropipette via capillary action and then deliver the sample from the pipette to the test device.
  • US-A-4,920,977 describes a blood collection assembly with lancet and microcollection tube. This device incorporates a lancet and collection container in a single device. The lancing and collection are two separate activities, but the device is a convenient single disposable unit for situations when sample collection prior to use is desirable. Similar devices are disclosed in US-A-4,360,016 , and US-A 4,924,879 .

  • US-A-5,368,047 , US-A-4,654,513 and US-A-5,320,607 each describe suction-type blood samplers. These devices develop suction between the lancing site and the end of the device when the lancet holding mechanism withdraws after piercing the skin. A flexible gasket around the end of the device helps seal the end around the puncture site until adequate sample is drawn from the puncture site or the user pulls back on the device.
  • US-A-4,637,403 discloses a combination lancing and blood collection device which includes a capillary passage aligned with a lancet to conduct body fluid to a separate test strip in the form of a microporous membrane. Since the needle and capillary passage are integral, their cross sectional areas cannot be independently sized. Also, the needle must remain in contact with the wound to enable body fluid to be drawn up.
  • WO95/10223 describes a means of collecting and measuring body fluids. This system uses a disposable lancing and suction device with a spacer member which compresses the skin around the lance/needle.

  • FIG. 1 Further aspects of the invention relate to a capillary tube having an outwardly flared lower end, and a capillary tube possessing a fluid sensor.
  • a lancing device 10 adapted to make an incision through a skin surface S for taking a sample of body fluid.
  • a disposable lancet 12 (hereinafter referred to as a "disposable") which carries a skin-lancing member in the form of a needle 14 is displaced toward the skin surface by the release of a cocked spring (not shown) and then is rapidly retracted by another spring.
  • the disposable 12 includes a body 16 which carries not only the needle 14, but also a capillary tube 18.
  • the capillary tube is mounted by friction-fit and is downwardly slidable relative to the body 16 in response to manual downward displacement of a pusher 20 which possesses an exposed actuator knob 22.
  • the present invention relates to the disposable 12, but a brief description of the device 10 is in order. Details of the housing and a unit 30 for supporting the disposable 12 can be found in commonly assigned, US-A-5 879 311 and and US-A-5 951 493 .
  • the disposable 12 is mounted in a lancet carrier 13 which is situated telescopingly within a cylindrical stimulator sleeve 24.
  • the sleeve is slidable longitudinally relative to a housing 26 of the device, and is biased downwardly, or forwardly, by a spring 28.
  • the housing is repeatedly pushed downwardly, whereupon the sleeve depresses a ring of body tissue in surrounding relationship to the incision, causing the incision to bulge while spreading apart the sides of the incision. Consequently, a drop of body fluid such as blood or interstitial fluid is formed at the open end of the incision, even if the incision I has been made in a region of the body where the supply of body fluid is relatively low as compared to, say, the fingertip region.
  • body fluid such as blood or interstitial fluid
  • the pusher 20 is displaced to push the capillary tube downwardly relative to the body 16 to a state where the lower end of the capillary tube can be dipped into the drop of body fluid to obtain a sample.
  • the pusher is then released and ascends.
  • the fluid sample can be transferred to a test strip which is separate from the capillary tube, or to a test strip 19 that is affixed to the upper capillary tube.
  • a removable unit 30 of the device 10 (Fig. 3) is comprised of the sleeve 24, the lancet carrier 13, an inner sleeve 25 which supports the lancet carrier 13 for sliding motion, an adapter 17 for releasably securing the unit in the housing 26, and biasing springs 28 and 29.
  • the lancet carrier 13 includes a pair of downwardly inclined, upwardly facing guide ramps 40 formed on its inner surface for guiding the disposable 12. Lower ends of the guide ramps 40 intersect to form an upwardly open recess 42. Three radially outwardly projecting bosses are formed on the lancet carrier, namely a pair of diametrically opposed upper guide bosses 31 lying on a common plane, and a lower locking boss 33 which is circumferentially spaced by ninety degrees relative to each of the upper bosses 31.
  • the unit 30 is pulled downwardly from the housing, and a disposable 12 is dropped downwardly into the carrier (see Fig. 3).
  • the upper bosses 36 of the disposable ride along the guide ramps 40 of the lancet carrier to bring the lower boss 33 into alignment with the recess 42 of the carrier.
  • the capillary tube 18 of the disposable is oriented in a specific relationship with respect to the unit 30.
  • the bosses 31, 33 stabilize the disposable within the carrier.
  • the unit 30 is then reinstalled by being pushed longitudinally upwardly into the front end of the housing 12. Since the upper end of the capillary tube 18 projects slightly upwardly past the upper end of the body 16 of the disposable, it slightly raises the pusher in order to deactivate a locking mechanism (not shown) to permit the device to be armed.
  • the disposable 12 shown in Figs. 5 and 6 includes a slot 60 formed by a pair of walls 61, the slot extending longitudinally along the body. Disposed within the slot 60 are a plurality of pairs of opposed clamping fingers 62 which are configured to frictionally grip the capillary tube 18 and retain the tube 18 in an orientation parallel to the longitudinal axis of the disposable.
  • the clamping fingers 62 include recesses 64 in which the capillary tube is seated, to prevent the tube from being dislodged from the body in a radial direction.
  • the capillary tube can be installed by being pushed radially into the slot, to spread apart the fingers 62 which eventually snap-back to capture the capillary tube. If desired, radially outer ends of the clamping fingers could be bevelled to promote the spreading action.
  • a plurality of pairs of opposed guide fingers 66 are disposed along the slot 60 to aid in guiding the capillary tube during its insertion. If desired, the capillary tube could be installed by being pushed longitudinally along the slot instead of being radially snapped-in.
  • the clamping fingers 62, guide fingers 66, and bosses 31, 33 are molded of one piece with the body, preferably of plastic.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 A modified form of disposable 12A is depicted in Figs. 7 and 8 wherein the side walls 61 are removed. Otherwise, the disposable 12A functions in the same manner as the previously-described disposable 12. That is, the clamping fingers 62A and guide fingers 66A frictionally support the capillary tube.
  • FIG. 9 Another modified form of disposable 12B is depicted in Fig. 9 wherein no needle is employed. Rather, a center axial through-hole 70 is formed through the body 16B and is adapted to conduct a skin-piercing medium such as laser light, or a stream of pressurized fluid (i.e., gas or liquid) for perforating a user's skin.
  • a skin-piercing medium such as laser light, or a stream of pressurized fluid (i.e., gas or liquid) for perforating a user's skin.

  • a mediating lens 71 is mounted at an upper end of the hole 70 to disperse the laser beam.
  • the pressurized liquid or gas could be emitted from known auto-inject devices used for injecting insulin directly through the skin (with the insulin eliminated therefrom, of course).
  • FIG. 10 Another modified disposable 12C is depicted in Fig. 10 wherein no capillary tube is utilized. However, the rear or upper end of the body includes an integrally molded arm 72 located in the same position as a capillary tube would have been. That projection 72 functions in the same manner as the upper end of a capillary tube, i.e. to raise the pusher 20 in order to deactivate a locking mechanism of the arming system, as mentioned above.
  • Fig. 11 two parallel, laterally spaced needles 14 are deployed on opposite sides of the center axis, and in Fig. 12 a third needle has been added which coincides with the center axis.
  • the needles 14 project forwardly from the body 16 by the same distance.
  • a disposable according to the present invention carries a capillary tube in spaced relationship to a needle or laser through-hole, enabling the cross sectional sizes of the capillary tube and needle (or through-hole 70) to be determined independently of one another. Furthermore, the capillary tube is slidable relative to the body of the disposable in order to be extended for reaching a sample of body fluid.
  • the body of the disposable carries guide bosses which are cooperable with ramps on a lancet carrier to guide the disposable during installation in order to cause a locking boss to enter a recess in the carrier.
  • the capillary tube assumes a predetermined orientation.
  • the disposable Even in the absence of a capillary tube, the disposable carries an arm which functions to deactivate a locking mechanism of an arming system.
  • the use of a plurality of needles on the disposable allows a substantially greater sample of body fluid to be obtained without having to increase the needle gauge and thus without increasing the amount of pain experienced by a user.
  • Fig. 13 Depicted in Fig. 13 is an alternative shape of a lower end 81 of a capillary tube 80 wherein that lower end is flared outwardly. Consequently, as body fluid flows upwardly through the capillary tube, the speed of travel thereof increases as it travels from the wide diameter D1 of the flared lower end to the smaller diameter D2, thereby increasing the overall rate of flow of the body fluid through the capillary tube. This permits intaking the sample through diameter D1 and dispensing through diameter D2.
  • Figs. 14, 15 Depicted in Figs. 14, 15 is a modified lower end of a disposable lancet 84 wherein there is provided a plurality of skin lancing members 86 in the form of shallow pointed blades or barbs. Those barbs can be formed by partially cutting out sections of a metal sheet 88 and then bending those sections downwardly, as depicted in Fig. 15. The barbs produce numerous shallow incisions to increase the amount of sample, without increasing pain felt by a user.
  • Figs. 16 and 17 depict an alternative form of disposable lancet 90 which comprises a pair of parallel passages 92, 94.
  • a skin-lancing member 96 in the form of a needle is slidably disposed in one of the passages 94, and the other passage 92 defines a capillary tube.
  • the needle 96 has an enlarged upper end 97 adapted to slide in a slot 98 formed along one side of the passage 94.
  • the two passages 92, 94 communicate at 99 with one another at their adjacent forward ends.
  • the lancet 90 can be slidably mounted in a body of a disposable, and the enlarged portion 97 of the needle would be arranged to be contacted by the driver mechanism so that, upon the triggering of the driver mechanism, the needle 96 is displaced downward relative to the capillary tube, as shown in phantom lines in Fig. 17.
  • the needle could be spring-biased to be retracted upwardly after an incision has been made. After a drop of body fluid has been formed at the incision, the lancet 90, including the needle 96 would be pushed forwardly in the manner described earlier, whereupon the body fluid is drawn-in.
  • Fig. 18 depicts a mechanism for sensing an upper level of fluid rising within a capillary tube 102. That mechanism comprises a pair of electrodes 104, 106 passing laterally through a body of the tube so as to be situated within the capillary passage 108.
  • the electrodes would be connected in circuit to a battery and an indicator (e.g., a bulb) carried by the housing 26 so that when the upper level of body fluid rising in the passage 108 contacts the electrodes, the bulb is illuminated.
  • the electrodes are disposed at a preselected height of the passage so that the volume of body fluid in the passage is known at the instant that the lamp is illuminated.
  • the user knows that a proper amount of sample is present in the tube and removes the tube from the incision. This prevents too much or too little sample from being taken which could otherwise require that the sampling operation be repeated.
  • the electrodes could enter downwardly through an upper end of the tube.
  • an electrically conductive ink could be painted around an inner surface of the passage at the preselected height.
